• Introductory Courses: These are typically the first or second classes in a Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathway. While not mandatory, they are recommended to help students get started.

• Concentrator Courses: The next step in the pathway, this course is required before taking the final (capstone) course. Completing this sequence is necessary to be recognized as a CTE completer.

• Capstone Courses: The final class(es) in the pathway. To be a CTE completer, students must take both the concentrator and capstone courses.
